"Our rural character. Big open fields of corn, watermelon, cotton. Getting stuck behind a combine during harvesting season. The vast expanses of forest, the rolling hills of the upstate, the moss-covered oaks of the lowcountry. The sandy footing in the midlands, the smell of the marsh along the coast."
- Resident of Barnwell County

- Resident of Richland County
"South Carolina is full of beautiful people who open their doors, their kitchens, their hearts, even when they have little to spare. That kind of everyday courage shaped me. It taught me what community means and why it’s worth fighting for."
